York got a penalty in the 61st minute when Oliver brought down Burrow in the box but Jameson managed to save the resulting penalty from Newton.

York thought they’d took the lead in the first 2 minutes when Tait scored a great volley inside the box but it was ruled out as he was offside.

York managed to get a chance in the 29th minute when Langstaff got the ball in the box and sent a ball across goal but no one was there to tap it in.

Dale found himself out wide, decided to cut in onto his left foot and had a strike at goal that went wide of the far left post.

Holmes then made a great run towards goal but his shot went flying over the bar.

Blyth looked impressive in the early minutes of the second half with Liddle having a great chance in the first minute when he took a cross down on his chest and fired a shot at goal that was saved impressively by Bartlett.

Blyth continued to bombard the York defence with Dale whipping in a great cross that was just too far ahead of the diving head of Reid.

York managed to slow the game down and get back into it with Nicholson having to clear a shot off the line when Burrow got ahead of Jameson from a cross.

York got an opportunity to double their lead when Oliver brought down Burrow in the box and a penalty was given. Newton stepped up to take the penalty but his attempt was saved by Jameson to keep Blyth in the game..
